Today I smoked a Black Market robusto. Burned well, had a bit of flavor and I might look for a few more if the other 2 I have are as good or better and the price is acceptable.

Another day - another Bradley - American Classic Blend churchill - uneven burn mid way that self corrected, very easy draw but other than that nothing special. Ok as a yard gar aand done in an hour.

I kinda feel that way about the whole line. Decent beater smokes. I’ll smoke em. Not really anything I’ve had that I repeat buy. But nothing I couldn’t smoke. I’m not terribly picky. Obviously I greatly enjoy top shelf smokes here and there but I’m not smoking 10$ cigars on a daily.

The American sun grown was quite a step better than the classic for myself. I’m working through some of my lesser daily gars lately. I’ll buy new ones but space has become non existent.

Prensado's were ok... burn issues were frequent though.

I think maybe it was z or someone said they were allergic to fire...

Smoked a Prensado toro this morning, They must have paid a lot for their rating. Glad I only overpaid $ 2.25 for it - boring with little or no flavor. I think I have another- hope it's better.

Many cigar manufacturers do this. They specially develop an amazing tobacco for cigars just to get a high rating. After they get the rating they drop the quality and profit.

They purposely do that? Got any examples?

Their Project 40 Maduro might be my fav from them now. Smoking one now that I've had napping for around 7 months and it's damn good.
